An Ruyu was also confused; she had no idea where she had offended this evil spirit.

Every time we meet, I have to confront her and embarrass her, especially when she looks at me with eyes that seem to see right through me, which is incredibly annoying.

"Didn't you say you were calling me back for dinner?"

Mingyue didn't respond to An's father's words, since it wasn't her who was in a hurry.

Private matters are private matters, and public matters are public matters. An's father immediately changed to a smiling face, "I was just about to talk to you about this. I've prepared all your favorite foods. Let's also talk about the cooperation."

"No problem, no problem."

The two sides were so harmonious it was unbelievable. An Ruyu rolled her eyes, knowing that her father was unreliable. She stomped her foot lightly and turned to go to the Chu family next door.

Chu Yuan was only sixteen years old at the time. An Ruyu threw herself into his arms and cried her heart out. Chu Yuan's ears were so red they were almost bleeding, and he dared not touch An Ruyu's body.

An Ruyu clung to his waist, acting coquettishly, and occasionally rubbed against him. Chu Yuan wasn't a twelve-year-old child; he understood what was going on. He struggled to straighten An Ruyu's body and asked, "Ruyu, what happened?"

An Ruyu snorted softly, then raised her little face and stared pitifully at Chu Yuan, "Brother Chu Yuan, why doesn't Auntie like me? Am I particularly annoying?"

"That's because she has no taste. Ruyu is so beautiful and so well-behaved and sensible, who wouldn't like her?"

Yes, she's had such a perfect life, who wouldn't praise her?

Unfortunately, when Mingyue returned last time, she exposed her true identity, which led to her being ridiculed by those noble ladies. Fortunately, the An family couple stood up for her.

Otherwise, she might have been ostracized by this group of rich young ladies.

"But my aunt just doesn't like me; she only likes Anhe."

Chu Yuan wasn't a domineering CEO yet, and he didn't know how to hide his emotions. His brows and eyes revealed An He's impatience. "It's okay, I will always like Ruyu."

"Brother Chu Yuan, you're so kind!"

An Ruyu tiptoed and planted a kiss on Chu Yuan's cheek, her smile innocent and adorable.

Chu Yuan shamefully suppressed the inappropriate thoughts in his mind. Ru Yu was still young, and he couldn't rush things.

After a long while, Chu Yuan's voice was deep and seductive, like a bewitching enchantress, "Ruyu, you go back first, I'll come find you next time."

"Alright then, brother."

An Ruyu chuckled inwardly. Having lived two lives, how could she not know Chu Yuan's situation? He won her over so easily. In her previous life, she was so afraid of his aloofness that she refused to get close to him.

This led to the other person eventually being attracted to An He, and the two became a harmonious couple.

Hmph, she's going to steal all of An He's precious things in this lifetime!

An Ruyu returned to the An family home with light steps. In the dining room, An's father and Mingyue were still talking. An Ruyu took a deep look at Mingyue.

Suddenly, Mingyue turned around and looked at her with a smile on her lips. An Ruyu was startled and quickly ran back upstairs.

"Why doesn't Ruyu know how to greet people?"

She's not worthy to call me that.

Father An blushed with embarrassment, "...Mingyue, what happened to Ruyu? Did she offend you? Why are you so hostile towards her?"

Mingyue was surprised, "So obvious?"

Father An nodded with a complicated expression, his face practically screaming his rejection of An Ruyu.

"Actually, it's nothing. She's not related to you by blood, but she still calls me 'aunt.' I find it annoying."

That's it?

Mingyue: "Hmm."

Father An was relieved. He had thought that the child had done something bad behind Mingyue's back. "Actually, you don't know, Ruyu's biological family is not good. The whole family favors boys over girls. I don't feel comfortable letting her go back. Besides, I have raised her for twelve years. She is my own daughter."
